“Selling our home was so easy thanks to Rhino Realty. Julian was awesome to work with. He was knowledgeable,
reliable, and friendly. He replied to all our messages in a timely manner. Everything was explained clearly, including
the fee. Best of all we saved a good chunk of money.
Thank you.”

“Karissa is amazing! Our first appointment with her, she was well prepared with pages of research on our house
along with comparables. The other realtors we met with had done zero research and basically did a walk through
and provided a low ball estimate. We sold our house for more than we all thought it would go for, thanks to her
great negotiating skills.
Karissa also helped with finding our new house and was brutally honest when we needed her to be, so that we
didn't settle on something we didn't love just because we were on a time crunch.
Between her professionalism, her sense of humor and the lower commission, there's no other realtor that we
would recommend!”
Erin R SAVED $5,823.00!* CashBack Reward
“The Rhino team is so great. Julian is fair and reliable and you can just tell that they have your best interest at heart.
I've both bought and sold properties with them and it's top notch every time. I won't go through anyone else now!”
Johana SAVED $9,283.05!* CashBack Reward
“I would definitely recommend Rhinorealty. Our experience was with Karissa who was super diligent and helpful when
we were taking this big step in the current crazy market. Given the craziness it leaves room for corners to get cut however,
this was not the case for us which spoke to the integrity of the work and standards of Rhino. Thank you for a great experience.”
Jason CashBack Reward
“I have purchased two homes using Rhino Realty. Used two different agents who were very willing to work within my
parameters and were both very knowledgable. The only thing better than the great realtors, was the cheque I received
from Rhino after the purchase of the house was complete - a share of their commission!”
Jeff H SAVED $7,235.55!* CashBack Reward
“We bought and sold with Rhino. We had an excellent experience with this company.. Very professional, experienced,
kind and organized staff. The service was 5 star at a fraction of the cost of most other realtors.”
Brian N SAVED $9,240.00!*
“As first time sellers, our experience with Rhino Realty was fantastic! Julian was amazing to work with and we would
highly recommend using him if you are looking to either sell or buy a home. From the initial appointment, we felt
like we were in good hands and that everything was taken care of promptly and professionally. Julian made this
whole process easy and was very friendly, experienced and insightful.”
Sheila A SAVED $5,797.05!*
“We sold our home recently through Karissa at Rhino Realty. We choose Rhino specifically because of their reduced
commission. But what we received in return far exceeded what we could have ever expected. Not only were we
thrilled with their very fair fee structure, but we were completely impressed with Karissa's professionalism, her
thoroughness in researching our situation and the market as it related to us and her ability to share excellent data
and facts without the 'salesmanship' attitude. This was truly refreshing and I would highly recommend both Karissa
and Rhino for your future real estate needs.”
Tova M CashBack Reward
“My finance and I after lengthy searching decided to go with Rhino Realty for their outstanding customer service,
pricing was awesome for listing/selling our home and our agent Julian was always readily available when we needed
him. Our home sold in 3 days and the new home we purchased we ended up getting a cash back, which paid for
our legal fees and moving costs. We are thrilled that we used an Alberta company to help sell our home and find
our dream home. I highly recommend this company for selling/purchase needs!
Thank you to the Rhino Team for an awesome experience!”
Doug D SAVED $13,546.05!*
“Karissa and Rhino realty were fantastic to work with. Despite being a "discount" realtor, we dont feel like we
gave up anything in my opinion, and we saved several thousands in commissions. Highly Reccomend.”
Stacy P SAVED $7,771.05!*
“I have nothing but positive things to say about Julian and Rhino Reality!! I found Julian when I found the property
I wanted to buy. He was the realtor for that property and we had many chats of my goals and wants. Because I
enjoyed his professionalism so much I decided to use Julian as my realtor to sell my house! I was so excited about
the realtor fees being incredibly fair and for how much I received for the sale of my house! Julian is laid back and
calm which helped my rattled nerves, made my experience less stressful. I still keep in touch with Julian, I would
definitely use him again if the situation arose.”
Jessica M SAVED $18,218.55!*
“Had a fantastic experience working with Karissa. She was pleasant, efficient and professional. Excellent communication
through the whole process. We saved thousands in real estate commissions without sacrificing the service. Our home
sold quickly for a price we were happy with. We would not hesitate to use RhinoRealty again. The service was first
rate... and honestly this is a more realistic model of how the real estate fee structure SHOULD work.”
Jenna A CashBack Reward
“Thank you so much to Rhino Realty for making our first time buying a home so easy! So impressed with the professionalism,
honesty, efficiency and expertise of our realtor and the company. We were nervous about being first time home buyers,
but the process was made so easy to understand and undertake with the guidance of Julian. We are SO happy in our new
home and are so grateful for the support from Rhino Realty! Will be recommending this company to all of our friends and family.”
Johnoel G SAVED $9,283.05!* CashBack Reward
“Karissa is an asset to this comany. Her experience and tenacity were able to help us sell our previous home quickly, and find
our new home in one of the the most challenging markets.”
Scott F CashBack Reward
“We purchased our home through Julian, and were thrilled with the entire experience.
We felt quite guilty about requesting to see many different options, but he was extremely flexible in his timetable,
and we never felt pressured in any way to make a decision. He was also able to provide insightful (and honest) opinions
on a variety of homes, and was very transparent through the rest of the purchase process.
We would highly recommend him to both friends and family, and will gladly use him again when we find ourselves
moving to our next home.
P.s. the rebate cheque is an awesome perk, and helped cover off the home inspection, legal closing costs etc.”
Debbie S SAVED $11,656.05* CashBack Reward
“I had a wonderful experience selling and buying a new home with Rhino Realty. Karissa was professional, efficient and
went to bat for me, all at a fraction of the price of a traditional realtor without any compromise on the level of service.
I would definitely enlist their expertise again and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family.”
Keith S CashBack Reward
“Great attention to detail at a fraction of the cost. I have never had this level of service on both buying and selling
from the big expensive services!”
Brad R SAVED $12,863.55!*
“Karissa was amazing! Her detailed and professional approach to the listing, showings, and negotiations were a huge
part in our home selling so quickly, and for above what we initially thought we would get. She helped guide us through
the whole process, and kept us up to date and informed on everything in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend,
and the reduced commissions without reducing service was a huge benefit that saved us thousands in closing costs! Thanks
Karissa!”
Ben V CashBack Reward
“I had purchased my house using Rhino Realty, we had let Julian know what was important to us and what was required for
our home... In no time he had provided us with a great list of houses. After we had found the home we wanted... Julian was
excellent in the negotiation the house price for purchase, and we got the house for the price we had in mind. I highly
recommend Rhino Realty! They have a great team of Realtors.”
Tanya G SAVED $18,271.05!* CashBack Reward
“Rhino was amazing. Karissa was knowledgeable and reliable. Everything that was transparent, including all fees. There
were no surprises, other than how fast the house sold. Our house sold in 3 hours from the first showing and went above
asking! This experience was amazing! Thank you Karissa!”
Chad W CashBack Reward
“Julian was great to work with, everything was taken care of promptly and professionally. He helped us narrow in on
what we were looking for and we would recommend using him if you are looking to either sell or buy a home. He
was very knowledgeable and pointed out things we even didn't know to watch for.
Thanks so much, we love our new house.”
Jon M CashBack Reward
“I had a fantastic experience buying a house with Rhino Reality! Karissa was absolutely amazing. She helped me understand
every part of the process, was incredibly responsive and quick to organize listings, showings, and negotiations even on short
notice, and was 100% dedicated to making sure I got a home I would love, not something that I would just settle for. She
made a daunting journey into an exciting one, and I could not be happier with how things turned out!”
Allison A CashBack Reward
“Julian is an amazing relator! he was able to find us the perfect first home before it even hit the market. In a hot housing
market like today you need someone who is willing to search high and low for the right house keeping your interests in
mind. Even after finding the house the process to secure it was smooth- he helped connect us with a house inspector and
found a follow up inspector for mold after finding moisture in the celling that gave us the price of mind to finalize the
property sale.”
Jackie D SAVED $4,752.30!*
“I first met with Karissa at Rhino a couple of years ago when I first considered selling my house and I didn’t want to pay the
crazy fees that traditional brokerages were charging, but the market was flat and I wasn’t really sure at that time if I really
wanted to sell. Based on the info that Karissa gave me, I decided to wait. During that time til present, Karissa kept me in
the loop with regular market updates and was happy to answer any queries I had about the market.
When the market picked up I decided it was time to list. Karissa was with me every step of the way offering advice and providing
the same services that a traditional brokerage would offer at a fraction of the cost. I especially liked that I had several options
of selling packages I was able to choose from, choosing one that worked best for my financial situation, and that she suggested
a flat fee for the buying realtor which was much less than I would have traditionally paid and it was accepted by the buying
realtor with no kickback.
My neighbour sold a couple of weeks before I did for 7500$ less than me and paid almost double in realtor fees than I did using
a traditional brokerage. All of the traditional brokerage agents that I spoke to “warned” me that other realtors would not promote
my property with the offer of a flat fee to the buying agent and not the traditional fee schedule, but I had 14 showings and 4 offers
in three days. Realistically, in this digital age, most buyers are looking at MLS and finding the properties they are interested in and
asking their realtors to arrange a viewing regardless of wether their realtor would promote that particular property or not.
I received the same service at a fraction of the cost, saving me literally thousands in realtor fees.
I would not hesitate to recommend Karissa and RhinoRealty if you are looking for a brokerage with top notch service at a fraction of the cost.”
Jeremy SAVED $5,277.30!*
“Selling your house is a very big decision and selecting who represents you is without doubt the most important step.
Look no further than Julian at Rhino Realty to help guide you through the whole process. Julian was extremely diligent
and showed tremendous knowledge in getting our house sold. He was never too busy to take a call or answer any
questions regarding the process. Upfront and transparent, do yourself a favour and go with Rhino Realty, you won’t
be disappointed and you’ll save yourself some money!
Also, after the sale of our home and the experience had, we decided to use Julian in the purchase of our new home.
As expected, we received the same level of expertise and dedication throughout the whole process. Julian made
everything easy and left nothing to worry.
Again, cash back was a huge bonus after close!”
Kim W CashBack Reward
“Purchased a home through Rhino Realty, Karissa helped me negotiate with troublesome builders and helped navigate
me towards my first home purchase. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.”
Claire P CashBack Reward
“Julian helped us with buying and selling of 2 properties. He is an excellent asset to the Real Estate Market. Julian
is very professional and has a very pleasant and personable manner. We would recommend Julian to anyone that
needs Real Estate advice.”
Keith S SAVED $5,419.05!*
“Karissa at Rhino was extremely helpful and responsive. We used her assistance during listing and negotiations. Our
house sold within a short period of time. Don't let regular full commission agents scare you into thinking using Rhino
will result in not selling or selling at a lesser value. NOT TRUE!! I don't know why anyone would use a regular realtor.
Kudos to Karissa and Rhino!!”
Jason SAVED $4,594.80!*
“I have only good things to say about Rhino Realty. It must be said that at the time my house was listed we were in a
very challenging situation. The economy was down and we were dealing with covid-19. Home sales plummeted during
this time.
Throughout this process Julian was always available to talk and provide me with information and advice based on his
experience and the most up to date data.
It was reassuring to know that Julian had my best interests in mind throughout the entire process. I am pleased with
the sale of my home and would not hesitate to use Rhino Realty again in the future”
Edward B SAVED $7,434.21!*
“An excellent way to sell your property. We have sold two properties with RhinoRealty and would recommend to anyone.
If you aren't comfortable with negotiating they also provide help with that. This is an extra cost, but well worth it, as it will
still save you money on real-estate commissions. Karissa was professional, and easy to deal with throughout the process.
A great experience.”
Michael V CashBack Reward
Would highly recommend using Rhino Realty. Julian went the extra mile to show us homes across Calgary – day and night!
He ended up assisting us with purchasing a spec-home where he negotiated with the developer to help us save more than
$50,000 from their initial asking price.
Brian W SAVED $3,046.05!* CashBack Reward
“Excellent service and knowledge. Would definitely use again and again.”
David O SAVED $7,456.05!*
“As a first time home seller I had no idea where to turn in regards to the plethora of things they don't tell you when you
buy. Julian was always courteous, knowledgeable and prompt in his responses. Worth every penny, and also worth saving
a few thousand on fees without sacrificing quality.”
Jenny H SAVED $3,991.05!*
“My husband and I had a great experience working with RhinoRealty. Selling a house can be a challenging, emotional experience.
However, Karissa provided us with great information and support. RhinoRealty is a professional company with great rates and I
appreciate that they are so progressive when compared to other companies.”
Matthew P CashBack Reward
“We worked with Julian Aiuto on the sale of our home. Was a very great experience, very friendly, professional, and really
looked after our best interests. Saved us thousands in really fees, and made the process a lot less stressful. He then helped
secure our future property. Lots of information and always available to answer. Would 100% recommend rhino realty and
Julian Aiuto!!”
Nicole W SAVED $6,616.05!*
“We were skeptical at first because of the commission pricing and the cash back reward that we wouldn't get the quality service
we needed but we were blown away by their quality and professionalism! Karissa helped us sell our previous home and fought
to get us what we wanted and Rhino helped us get into an acreage where the deal was very difficult (forced sale). We are SO
happy we went with Rhino both times and highly recommend them to everyone! Thank you, you guys rock!”
Erin C SAVED $4,330.92!*
“Above and beyond helpful in our first time selling experience. We sold in one of the most difficult markets and the Rhino Team
was excellent. Can't recommend them enough.”

and professional and we enjoyed working with them very much.”

“Great, personable service at an excellent low rate!”
Wayne S SAVED $5,009.55!*
“Julian sold a house for my daughter a few years ago and they were very pleased. Then my daughter and I bought a
Townhouse using Julian and recently we just sold the Townhouse using Julian again. He was very helpful and we
sold the Townhouse in about 48 hours after receiving 4 offers. Using Rhino Realty you can save $$$ on realty fees.
I would highly recommend him.”
Daniel L CashBack Reward
“Used rhino realty a while back when I got my house. They spent as much time as they could to find us the best house
even tried to show us a house that the renter threatened to burn down if we came in. This was my second purchase
and my first realtor just tried to get us to buy a house and make commission. Rhino on the other hand took us to so
many houses to make sure we were taken care of.”
Shaun B SAVED $5,823.00!*
“Julian was excellent! He made listing simple and was both informative and responsive during the process. Very
professional and negotiated our sale expertly. Highly recommended.”
